We are visiting friends in the Penzance area on our way to the Scillies from New Jersey. Just coming back from France and being Michelin Guide aficionados, we saw the sticker in the window of The Lime Tree restaurant on Chapel Street. Well, ah never -- and hot jiggidy -- we have had the best meal we have ever tasted in our long lives. The home-made bread, the perfectly cooked scallops, lovely house wine and paradisical desserts. We will go again and as often as possible on our return......Helen & Don

We discovered this restaurant on the recommendation of mutual friends and have not stoppedgoing back since. Not only is the whole atmosphere so elegant and comfortable, the staff are extremely welcoming, the food is to die for and the prices modest. Saturday lunch is a good time to go but the evenings have a great atmosphere as well. we've not had a single bad meal and friends we have taken there have been similarly impressed.

Strange man stood outside squashing his face against the window.

We heard about The Lime Tree through friends who had discovered it earlier in the summer. Needless to say we were not disappointed - in fact, thrilled and charmed to find such a fantastic restaurant in Cornwall.
Would thoroughly recommend a visit there - the atmosphere, service and food is excellent.

I have just returned from yet another delightful lunch at The Lime Tree. Both my companion and I chose the same dishes. We started with lovely olive bread and an oil and balsamic vinegar dip. For our main course we had tempura of John Dory. The batter was superb and the fish was served with watercress, spicy shredded carrots and sour cream and other garnishes. To follow we had a delicious creme brulee. with the meal, we just drank a carafe of water. The meal cost £24.90 for the two of us.
The surroundings are delightful and there are always fresh flowers on the table. Service is friendly and efficient. this is a place to return to again and again.

The Lime Tree is Penzance's latest restaurant and has the likes of the Bay, the Abbey and the Bakehouse to contend with in its niche of upmarket, modern eclectic cuisine.
First impressions were pretty good, with the restaurant located in a Georgian fronted house with a comfortable, yet modern interior.
The menu was quite was small with 4 mains including 2 fish, meat and veggie option. Between 4 of us we tried all but one.
For starters I had scallops, which were pretty much as good as they get - seared to perfection.
I had brill with wasabi bearnaise - mainly out of interest as a) I haven't eaten brill before and b) I was intrigued by the idea of a wasabi sauce. Anyway it exceeded my expectations with the bearnaise being subtle enough not too overpower the rest of the plate.
I skipped dessert, but everyone else seemed more than happy with theirs.
All in all, about the best dinner I've had in Penzance for a while and highly recommended. One minor niggle, found the acoustics a bit annoying where we were sat - a little harsh and echoey, but with good food, I think you can live with it!
